Did you have a good summer?

That's what people ask me.

Did I? Well, if the criteria was, did I accomplish anything, let us look at the list:

THINGS I PLANNED TO ACCOMLISH THIS SUMMER

• Learn Javascript. Nope, didn't happen.
• Learn MySQL. Nope. I DID get it installed, though.
• Ride bicycle. Yeh, I rode about half as much as I wanted, and achieved some minor goals.
• Wash vehicle. Nope. I did buy washing fluid. Need a mitt.
• Get mulch. Didn't happen.
• Get summer job. Ha, ha, on THAT one!
• Stop smoking. Off and on, but not stopped. Don't tell the kids.
• Visit Deety and Linh. Nope.
• Gardening. Well, I DID chop that darn root out of the ground!
• Tour de France. I spent most of July watching the race. That's what July is for!
• Oil change. I got the oil changed in the vehicle. Second oil change in less than 2,000 miles, FYI.
• Work on railroad. I got the hoist finished and rebuilt the background panel.
  

THINGS I ACCOMPLISHED THIS SUMMER WITHOUT WANTING TOO (Huh?)

• Blogging. I did a bit of blogging.
• Youtube. I made several silly (as in lame, not humorous) little movies.
• Reading. I read a bunch of books.

So I leave it up to you, did I have a good summer?


Saw this on the Warrior Librarian site.

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Theresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
